about

Alexandra Cárdenas (algorave.com/alexandra-cardenas/) is a composer, programmer, and improviser, born in Bogotá, Colombia in 1976. She studied composition at the Universidad de Los Andes, where she also studied mathematics and classical guitar. She has performed in diverse venues across the Americas, Europe, and Asia.

Using open-source software like SuperCollider and TidalCycles, her work is focused on the exploration of the musicality of code and the algorithmic behavior of music, especially through the practice of live-coding. This is a way of creating music in an improvisatory manner, by typing and editing computer code directly into the laptop to create sound as the performance progresses. Often the code itself is displayed to the audience during the performance.

With her intense activity as performer and teacher of live-coding, Alexandra is among the pioneers of live-coding in electroacoustic music and part of the forefront of the what's become known as the Algorave scene. Currently she is based in Berlin, Germany, where she completed her Masters in Sound Studies at the Berlin University of the Arts.

This EP is a recording of live-coded performance Alexandra gave at HIPERSÓNICA @platohedro in Medellín, Colombia on March 17th, 2017, for the sixth anniversary of the birth of ALGORAVE (algorave.com)

A video of the actual live-coding as it happened can be seen at YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0SHPk3H72Y
